From https://bugs.gentoo.org/930831#c9:

"""
Nitpick: net-p2p/kubo (f.k.a. ipfs) does basically the same thing - it downloads a "database migration" blob to /tmp/ and attempts to run it from there, which of course fails on a properly configured distro with tmp mounted noexec for security.
"""

Could someone investigate this?

Whenever I can I will set-up a proper system to test it, but grepping the source code only seems to show references to /tmp for running tests
Comment 2 David Roman 2024-04-29 18:29:41 UTC
I was in a rush before. I can confirm that the migration code downloads code into /tmp and tries to execute it:

There is a relevant issue already opened: https://github.com/ipfs/fs-repo-migrations/issues/148 
As I understand it we should package the migration programs also, somehow.
